Spring Summer Fashion Trends 2016

Oh great, I can wear tights again - my legs will skinny and I don't have to shave or fake tan.

 

Excuse me while I spend the rest of my days adjusting myself.

 

Your morning starts like this...

MONDAY

7:00AM: It's dry out, I'm sure a light coat will do.

9:00AM: Why did I listen to myself?

 

TUESDAY

7:00AM: It's raining out, I'll wear my winter boots.

9:00AM: Why does God hate me?

 

And repeat.

Pumps are still acceptable, right? Right?

 

Leaving the house like this...

 

...returning like this.

 

Will I just get fingerless ones? But then my fingertips will freeze. And now I'll need a manicure.

 

 

Whoever said fedoras were fun in autumn is a liar. A dirty, dirty liar. This lady gets us.

 

You've nailed styling this bad boy to a T. Jeans, skirts, red carpet event - that parka has paid for itself by now.

 

Can't you see I'm wearing a scarf no? It's an entirely different look.

 

Winter wonderland, my foot. You're only kidding yourself here, Fearne.

 

Olivia Palermo wore thigh high boots with a blanket scarf, so we wore thigh high boots with a blanket scarf.

 

...It didn't work out.

Today I’m addressing one of my winter wardrobe holes.

Well, technically I’m not addressing it because right now I can’t afford to actually BUY any of these boots. But there’s nothing like writing a fantasy shopping list and weighing up all the pros and cons to make you feel totally prepared to fill that hole the minute you can afford it.

I love ankle boots for winter. I want something with enough of a heel to make me feel smart and elegant, and neat enough to wear with a skirt on cold days. Real leather ideally, but definitely something I can wear to tramp through snow and rain with warm, comfy, elegant feet.

Not much, I know. My last pair of boots was bought about 3 or 4 years ago now and were Hush Puppies. They are perfect, but they are also badly falling apart as I wore them to death. I went for dark brown, which looks ok with black tights or coloured tights, but I’m tempted to go for black this time perhaps?

These are my top picks from my hunt for boots!

Clockwise from Top Left

Dune Lace Up Ankle Boot - A little grungy in style, but something in it appeals to me, like I’d look like a cute street urchin from the 1930s in a nice dress and sturdy boots. In reality I would probably just look silly. They are sensible though, and leather

Hush Puppie Zip Up Lolita Boot - My last boots were Hush Puppies and were comfortable and lasted ages. I love the vintagey zip up detail and the punching. These are the ones I have my eye on at the moment!

Clarks Lisette Blue Boots – I like the slightly biker feel to these and the fur trim. I think I’d feel quite rock n roll, and being Clarks they have good padding to the soles to make them comfortable to wear, even if the heels are a little high.

Lotus Forest Black Ankle Boot – I have another pair of Lotus shoes that are really comfortable, despite being high, so I’m assuming these would be the same. I like the slight victoriana inspired styling with the side buttons, but I’m not so keen on the heel shape. #fussy

Clockwise from Top Left

Barratts Wine Fur Trim Ankle Boot - Top bonus of this boot is that it is cheap. However, having bought cheap boots like this before and had them not last 5 minutes it barely seems worth it. I do like the fur trim and the colour, but these would purely be a “fashion” boot, not one to rely on to keep your feet dry all winter!

Ugg Chocolate Zea Wedge Ankle Boot – I know, UGG, you never thought you’d see THEM on this blog, right? And neither did I, and you’ll never see that “classic” UGG style as I hate them, but I like the comfy wedge heel and shearling trim on this boot, and they’re made from waterproof suede.

Office Comet Lace Boot – The tan version of my “1930s street urchin” boots above. I’d like a slightly higher heel, but I’d feel very sensible buying these.

Steve Madden Raspy Tan Ankle Boot – Ridiculous, far too high and platformy for every day. But I really like the shape. I want to wear them with crazy big flares and and a brown 70s stripy jumper.

Miss L Fire Alpine Red

Suede, fur trim, studs and a colour scheme that would make me look like Mrs Christmas. A ridiculous amount of money to spend on boots that I could probably only wear for 3 weeks of the year, but still I covet them. I also covet the green. Perhaps it is fortunate that both colours are sold out in my size.

Irregular Choice Balletomane

Lets face it, Irregular Choice isn’t normally your first stop for “sensible winter boots” but pearl encrusted boots with a wind up musical ballerina in the heel is definitely outside of the realms of “wardrobe essential”

These are all sold out online, but there might be limited sizes left in stores. It makes my heart hurt that I will never own them. I would just wear them in my house and watch the ballerina twirl. These beat those Clarks Princess shoes with the key in the heel hands down!

NOTE: I just found a pair without the pearls on eBay! In my size! Still can’t afford them. Use Ebay coupon code for saving at here

My daughter is a fashionista and is constantly following the top trends according to magazines like Teen Vouge, Seventeen, Girl’s Life and other popular magazines for teen girls. As a mom, I am careful about what trends I allow her to follow because I am not big on the super sexy low-cut items or short daisy duke shorts. As the temperatures get cooler outside, your teenager is probably pulling out their cozy sweaters, long sleeve shirts, jeans, and their favorite pair of boots. Today, I wanted to share with you some of the top fall 2014 fashion trends for your teenage daughter that won’t break the bank.

Shoes are also a great interchangeable accessory to your wardrobe and having multiple shoes to choose form can instantly change the look of your outfit. As a rule of thumb, I generally choose nuetral color shoes so that I can wear them weather I dress up or down, depending on the occasion. Nordstrom has a huge selection of shoes up to 70% off plus free shipping using this promo code. Your child’s basic wardrobe should consist of a pair of tennis shoes for running, causal tennis shoes, and a minimum of one pair of dress shoes.

My daughter tends to wear jeans on a regular basis and they are always in style. However, fashion trends are showing a switch from the skinny jeans to the boyfriend jeans. Don’t worry these jeans aren’t jeans that your daughter got from her boyfriend. Boyfriend jeans are a relaxed fit pair of jeans that are comfortable. They were designed to fit like the jeans that she would possibly borrow from her boyfriend. These jeans are also made so that they fit your daughter properly (since they were specifically designed for a woman’s body) and they love them because they don’t bunch up or sag like other jeans. If your daughter is worried about them looking frumpy or like old lady jeans, have her try on several different pairs until she finds the style that works for her. Just remember that when buying jeans, you should avoid buying jeans with holes in them especially if they are against your child’s dress code.

Purchase Shirts and Sweaters that You Can Mix and Match

Find several tops that you can mix and match. This will help expand your wardrobe and give you plenty of options when it comes to wearing an outfit. When searching for tops, ask yourself if you can tuck it in, wear it out, tie or knot it, or add a belt? A shirt that can do all 4 of these styles is a great shirt because it gives you 4 different ways to wear it. Then ask yourself if the top would look good with a jeans, slacks, or skirt? If so, then you have increased the number of ways that you can wear your outfits to save you money on your child’s wardrobe.

Fall is a great time to reassess your wardrobe and set aside a bit of money to purchase some staple items that will keep you warm and fashionable throughout the cold fall and winter seasons. Among these important fall and winter staples are boots and shoes that will keep your feet warm and dry while adding a touch of chic fall-winter fashion trends to already existing items in your wardrobe. Here are a few footwear ideas to convert your wardrobe into fall-friendly outfits.

Reef has an excellent collection of comfortable women’s flats that will work well with tights and leggings in the fall months. Purchase a few neutral colors that will go with many outfits, but be sure to also purchase a bright color to add some pizzazz and a pop of color during those dull winter days. Use flats and tights to convert spring and summer skirts into fall outfits. You can layer long-sleeved button up shirts and cardigans on top to create warmth, without having to purchase a fully new wardrobe. Flats are also sweet with jeans or dress pants and thin, warm socks or trouser socks.

Boots are one of those fall and winter staples that many women long to wear throughout the warmer spring and summer months. Invest in a few good pairs of leather or faux leather boots in neutral colors, such as black and brown. Again, boots can dress up any outfit. They are great with tights and leggings under dresses, or wear them over skinny jeans. For everyday wear, flat boots or boots with a low heel work well, providing both comfort and style. Many companies now also make cute boot socks that have a bit of lace or design detail that peeks out from the top of your boot. Small touches like these will help dress up your look.

Invest in some comfortable, casual shoes that have good style. Casual shoes for fall may include lace-up leather shoes in surprising colors, as well as some neutrals that will go well with a lot of items. Comfort is important in this season, as well as wearing warm socks. Casual shoes go well with dark wash jeans, flannel button-ups, cardigans, and cute sweaters that adorn the autumn season. Wear them when you’re choosing those pumpkins at the farmers market, raking leaves, or choosing this year’s holiday tree.
